Travb, nice job putting all of this material into the article! I've done my best to improve on your work (sort of "semi-final editing") through the first several paragraphs. (I'll come back for more later.)
The section on the discharge petition seems to be slightly off somehow, the way it's summarized, but I don't know the exact details of what happened, so I couldn't quite put my finger on the problem, to correct it.
Also, from the wording it's probably not entirely clear to readers which way those votes were cast -- linking the 2/3 vote needed to pass the amendment to the discharge motion kind of makes it sound like that also needed 2/3, when it actually only needed a majority. But I'm leaving that alone for now, until the other part gets nailed down. Sorry if I haven't explained the other issue very well -- I hope you can clear it up anyway!
Oh, yeah, one other thing: I think the line about Good Housekeeping Magazine and Roger Nash Baldwin should be moved to the preceeding history section, but I wasn't sure how to sort out the refs. Cgingold 17:06, 23 February 2007 (UTC)
RE:
I think this is actually in the right section. It is talking about public support. (not historical precedence) I am going to move the comments of those who are against it to that section. Travb ( talk) 18:44, 23 February 2007 (UTC)
